I followed a beginner workflow tutorial from a YouTube video using the OpenAI Message Node with OpenRouter’s API. When I tested it, the node works fine, but the model dropdown is empty — no models show up.
The guy in the video clearly has models listed in that dropdown.
Here are some screenshots from my setup and the video for comparison:
I also checked the comments under the video, and I’m not the only one facing this issue — several others have reported the same problem with the model list not showing up.
hi there, from what im seeing you’re using an openAI node to connect to your openrouter
yeah, most people have this problem, its because the list is meant for the OpenAI model.
usually people solved this by not using the list, but instead you choose the model by its ID, so you need to find the model ID in openrouter and just paste it there
